Thurs. Feb. 13, 2014 - 5 year old birthday parties are CRAZY!

Riley helped Mommy put the finishing touches on her care bear cake

A story from Grandpa Leon

 Riley ran downstairs to check out all the decorations

Gift bags

Rainbows

 A very care bear table

 Birthday girl is ready to party

 How is our little girl already 5 years old? 

 We started the party with a craft that Grandma Cheryl and Grandpa Leon helped the kids do

 Pin the belly badge on the care bear

 The kids were so sweet to little sister

 Rainbow ball relay race

 Micaela loved watching the kids run by

 Riley was excited about her cake

 All the kids

 Daddy lit the candles

 Then it was time to blow them out!

 At least the kids sat down for 5 minutes

 Everyone wanted Riley to open their gift first

 The partygoers

 8 of the 9 kids got into that little tent

 They had fun playing hopscotch...

 ...having a picnic...

 ...building something with tools...

...and running with balloons

 it was controlled chaos

 One happy birthday girl


On Saturday 8 of Riley's friends came over for her birthday party. We were very lucky that Grandma Cheryl and Grandpa Leon came up to help with all the activities and energetic 4- and 5-year-olds. We started with a rainbow art project, played a few games, then enjoyed some cake, icecream and fruit. Riley received many wonderful gifts. It seemed like most of the kids had chosen the presents themselves and were really excited for her to open them. We finished with free play in the basement. I'm so thankful that we have this space full of fun toys; the kids had a great time down there. The party went really well and the birthday girl was very happy with her party.
